Great microphone for a great price and excellent customer service
I bought this Samson microphone based upon the reviews for its performance, combined with the price. I found it to be super easy to use and the sound quality produced is quite good, especially considering the price of competitors. What really won me over, though, was the customer service. When one of the legs to the mic stand broke off (I think I probably overextended the leg, which caused it to break), I reached out to Samson about the issue. They immediately took great pains to mail me a replacement stand at no cost.

Great Quality!
I was looking for a decently priced microphone to use for my youtube channel. I do a lot of narrating/voice overs etc, and this mic works great. just an overall good sound. Always remember, just because a microphone is more expensive doesnt always mean its the best. This mic works great for my little office studio. I do have a few acoustic panels up on the walls though to help absorb sound. even without the acoustic panels the sound is perfect….I would even say podcast quality, and its a very simple setup!

Good for its price
I have used this for streams, recordings, and Foley work. This mic is decent in an acoustically suitable environment.The cardioid polar pattern is nice. It picks up my voice and disregards other sounds that are in its dead zone. The only variable I had to account for was subtle background noise, like an oscillating fan, or keyboard clicks that bled in whenever my voice was being picked up. This was an easy fix by using some effects to alleviate unwanted variables. (i.e. Noise Suppression)The cover for the head that is supposed to help with plosives (annunciations that can ‘pop’ in the listeners ears) works okay. If I were recording for money, I would want a pop filter and better equipment.The equipment is lightweight, the stand is stable, and it stores easy!If you’re looking for a beginner, low-budget mic, I recommend this one. I’ve had it for years and it’s still working well!

Very Good Microphone
I use this microphone to record and it sounds well. This mic is a good option overall for me because:A) Its a Good PriceB) I can use USB or Xlr it very versatile. (I can use this same mic in the future when i buy me an audio interface)C) Sounds Great and you can always fine tune audio with EQ and Compressors in a DAW like audacity.D) Feels slightly heavy, very stable, and easy to setup.Now for the Flaws:A) The audio jack on the mic produce good sounds but if you use a 3.5mm jack like apple earphones it will slide out.B) Their is a constant hiss sound when headphones are connected to mic even if the mic is muted. (Maybe this will change when using xlr and an audio interface)C) Does pickup background noise.

Amazing bang for buck
After much reading and debating, I chose the Samson Q2U as my microphone replacement for another very old Samson. The sound quality is fantastic, clear as day, and the dynamics are fantastic even when speaking from a distance or awkward angles. It looks great too. Very satisfied with the simplicity and ease of use. Haven’t needed to do any tinkering with any software and results have been great. People in a voice chat I was were even commenting on how much better I sound. Highly recommend, especially at sale price.

Great Value DYNAMIC Microphone with USB and XLR Compatibility
I purchased this in late June 2021 and this review is being written in late May 2023.This microphone was recommended to me by a number of different reviewers, and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend checking out the review of it by Podcastage on YouTube for a nice look into how it sounds with various testing methods.Some things to know: this is a dynamic microphone, so the source of sound needs to be close to it, and the polar pattern and sensitivity of it is such that you only really get clear, crisp audio speaking directly into the front/top of the microphone.It comes with a short tripod stand, but I find it awkward on my desk due to my USB drawing tablet. If not for that it would fit okay, but might still be a bit too low. However, the clamp on the stand (secured with a Phillips head screw) is quite loose on mine. It’s a bit of a hassle to get it to stay put outside of its maximum range of motion, and is prone to drooping forwards or backwards depending on how it’s positioned (i.e. wherever most of the downwards force is distributed relative to where the clamp is). Inserting the microphone into the stand is simple.USB and XLR connectivity make it extremely convenient for most people while also offering an opportunity to improve the quality alongside of your hardware.Some people cite issues with the device being recognized or detected on their PC. I have not experienced this, but I’ve heard it from two people that I know personally to some extent, so that’s a fair warning. I’m not sure if that’s an issue with the product, an incompatibility with the setup, or some other such thing, but I think it’s a relevant issue to be concerned about.Honestly, outside of the flimsy stand, I don’t really have any issues with this product. In fact, I think it’s a superb purchase for anybody looking for a quality microphone so long as they understand what they’re getting into with dynamic vs. condenser microphones and all of that jazz. I’ve had no issues with it that I can remember in the time since I’ve bought it, and I use it very regularly. I’ve even dropped it a few times and it still works perfectly fine with no cosmetic damage either. I will say though, if you’re willing to go past ~$120.00 or so, your options open up a lot and I think you can get a better product dollar-for-dollar. At its price point though, I think this is an excellent product.

Amazing microphone for the price
I’m writing this review late as I’ve had this mic for years now and I love it. It sounds incredible and has lasted all this time. I use it as a USB mic, haven’t messed with the XLR aspect of it

Primeiramente gostaria de agradecer ao vendedor, porque foi impecável a entrega, e o produto é sensacional, indico a todos que querem ter excelente qualidade de áudio nos seus vÃÂdeos e trabalhos!

Muy buen micrófono, se siente bien construido, robusto. Lo uso por USB pero es muy bueno que tenga la opción de usarlo por XLR en un futuro, o en alguna ocasión en particular. Lo uso sólo para voz, sobre todo en discord y zoom, y capta muy claro el sonido, también de vez en cuando en alguna grabación de audio o de vÃÂdeo y es excelente la calidad. Mete un poco de ruido pero nada grave, además se puede suprimir por software, yo lo hago con Reaper. Lo único que no he logrado usarlo por medio del OTG del móvil, lo reconoce como un DAC para conectarle unos audÃÂfonos al Jack del micrófono, pero no lo reconoce como micrófono, asàque sàlo quieres para usarlo con Android, primero investiga bien. Por lo demás, excelente.

Este micrófono es una maravilla. Suena muy, muy bien, como micrófonos mucho más caros (por XLR, por USB no lo he probado porque mi ordenador introduce bastantes ruidos por USB). Tiene un levÃÂsimo tinte toque “metálico/radiofónico” que a mi personalmente me gusta mucho. Como defecto, coge bastantes ruidos de contacto de la mano con el cuerpo del micrófono, pero con no andar movimiendo la mano o usarlo desde un soporte no hay problemas.
